NBA Action, it’s Make-Uptastic!
NBA Action, it’s Make-Uptastic!...
You’d think for a bunch of guys who are supposed to be the best in the world at their jobs, they’d be better at getting things right the first time. And now, through the trials and tribulations of the 2002 Lakers/Kings series, the ’07 Suns/Spurs series and Tim Donaghy, we expect mediocrity. Is...

Lakers! Celtics! It’s the 2010 NBA Finals Preview!
Lakers! Celtics! It’s the 2010 NBA...
Think about this series long enough, and you’ll get twisted up in your own thoughts. For as long as we can remember, writers and TV analysts have been given one job every NBA Finals: pick the supposed “x-factor.” Maybe you could say the same thing about every NBA Finals, but this series...

The matchup that will determine the NBA Finals
The matchup that will determine the NBA ...
While both the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers bring back teams to the 2010 NBA Finals that are relatively intact compared to the squads that met two years ago, there are some modest differences. Some people have gone from feisty upstarts to content veterans, some have a chip on their shoulder...

You can have Anna Kournikova, I’ve always been a Martina Hingis fan. It’s not that I have a thing for big foreheads — Tyra Banks is my least favorite non-criminal in the world. I don’t know if it was because I’ve always been a brunettes-over-blondes guy, Hingis’ slightly...

I’m not going to go all draft crazy tonight. I just can’t. There’s only thing we know about the who the Warriors are going to select is that it won’t be Jordan Hill. The Warriors already had two young 6’10″ forwards that Don Nelson didn’t really like using last...

Although I’m about as far from a Celtics fan as one can be without my last name being “Rambis,” the best thing about this epic first round series between Boston and Chicago might be the chance to appreciate two of the top clutch players in basketball over the last decade do their thing....

NBA Tuesday: Post-injury fantasy advice
NBA Tuesday: Post-injury fantasy advice...
In case you haven’t noticed, NBA players have been dropping like flies this season. And not just any players, really good ones. Somewhat overshadowed by the LeBron and Kobe show this NBA season has become have been an incredible amount of faulty labrums and ligaments. Not that the NBA players have...

I can see Bill Simmons bursting through the back door of his house, running into his backyard in a rage, throwing his arms towards the sky and yelling, “FISHERRRRRRRR!!!!!” Lakers 110, Boston 109 was also the best NBA game of the season, even though it was hardly the prettiest. Of course,...

BASG’s NFL Picks: Week One...
I didn’t do a weekly NFL picks column last year, but I had a good reason…www.bayareasportsguy.com didn’t exist yet! Here’s a challenge for you, the reader. Of the reasons listed to listen to my NFL predictions, pick which one is actually true. 1. I spent twelve years...

The Real Boston Massacre...
I jokingly wrote eight hours ago about the Lakers activating Rick Fox tonight. They could have used him. Or anybody like him. Somebody strong like Fox (who, like Barry Bonds, never tested positive for steroids…if you know what I mean), who let Kobe get all the defensive credit while actually handling...
